Is your electrical issue an emergency?

Should you wait? Or should you call right now? Here's how to tell:

Your house is the only one on your street without power = emergency

When lots of homes lose power, the problem is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility company to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.

But when you're the only one without power, that's a sign something's gone wrong on your end. If you turn the breakers and validated that you paid your electrical bill this month, and you're still without power, give us a call. You've got a problem just a knowledgeable electrical contractor can solve.

You smell something burning, or you see brown marks on your outlets = emergency

Never a great sign. Unplug whatever connected to that outlet. Flip the breaker to switch off power to the outlet and call us right now.

At the very least, the outlet requires to be replaced. You'll want us to identify whether there are other problems in your system that could cause similar threats.

In some cases you'll see the outlet trigger up. The trigger will reoccur rapidly, but do not ignore it! One small trigger now can start one lethal fire later.

Your service panel is hot = emergency situation

Believe it or not, this one usually isn't a hard repair. It suggests a bad breaker or a loose wire. Sometimes it's an indication of a far more severe problem. A specialist needs to make that assessment.

Your electrical box is singing to you = emergency situation

Buzzing noises from the breaker box are another sign of a loose wire or a bad breaker that can cause a fire. To some people, that might sound more like a humming noise.

No matter how you perceive the sound, it is usually a sign of a breaker that's refusing to trip. Breakers are expected to trip when the circuit gets too hot. Your electrical wiring is dealing with heat and power loads it was never suggested to handle if the breaker is failing to do its job. Shut off all power and call us immediately.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency

The very first is reasonably safe, however it's a tip your system needs an update. That is specifically true in older houses, which aren't indicated to run almost as numerous electronic devices as we now count on every day. The 2nd two are exceptionally unsafe, and need attention right away.
